Backing up

Under the User options, there is a backup and restore feature you can use with an SD card. It'll save Favorites, previous destinations etc. to the card, but it will overwrite that info everytime you back up so be warned.

Unless you're going to hack your OS, there's no real need to backup as you can just delete any custom POI's you've made for it, as well as any Faves.

Complete backup

Is there a way to backup the GPS as is, just in case something goes wrong and i need to revert back?

Good plan. Connect the 4250 to your computer. The computer should recognize it as an external, removable drive. Copy everything to a folder on your host computer. Done. From there, you can save it anywhere you want.

Note that the 4250 is one of the Maestro models that won't let you "see" the SD card through the GPS when connected to the computer. To put Custom POIs on the SD card, you need a card slot in your computer........at least that's been my experience anyway.
